I don&#39;t necessarily agree with you, but then as you said, I can write my own blog post about my own experiences. In the two decades I&#39;ve been a writer, I&#39;ve never gone through what I&#39;d call writer&#39;s block, though I have been through creatively dry periods where I was not writing. At all. But then, it was life challenges affecting my ability to focus enough to write, and dealing with those issues released my ability to think creatively.

I prefer nonfiction or historical fiction. I definitely agree with you when you say you have a hard time writing about things closest to you, though. I know if I did write about what I was closest to, if I managed to do so well, it would probably be the best thing I had ever written. *sigh* Oh well. I can only push myself so much.
